For the past three years, CAN has been working to democratize the network and engage more of our peers and colleagues in the governance of CAN.
How We Work
CAN has 9 Partner Organizations that offer backbone support for the Network. On a monthly basis 8 Working Groups and 3 Leadership Teams meet up virtually for planning and implementation of projects and goals. See below for our paths of leadership.
